Hello, my name is Chris Holley. I have recently created a new game called "Submission". This is my first attempt at a game, so I wanted to know how I should go about getting the word out there. I have very little money left, so please take that into account. Thank you for your help.

get the video clip, upload it to a file sharing community
like Kazaa, Shareaza, Napster type places.

also start a Yahoo club.

quite interesting, I'm a Pro-wrestling fan, but I'm also
a submission grappling competitor.

Prize support

Don't underestimate the power of PR.

For example, does your local sports radio or TV station have a pro-wrestling show? Contact them and offer some games as prizes. Repeat on the national level.

You've got a great website, so use your PR to drive traffic to it.

Free advertising

Have you thought about press releases to relevant publications. I am based in london and usually go to www.businesslink.gov.uk for info on advertising, raising funds etc. (Or specifically www.businesslink4london.gov.uk)

I don't know your industry but what about getting some relevant mags to reveiw.

What about contacting retailers directly and getting them to stock it on their shelves as a trial.

I find that I need to brush up on my selling skills, writing skills etc to get people to notice my product.

Also have you tried eBay. I find that useful to test the market especially what people are prepared to pay.
